2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DU66 VGL

The 2026‑01‑13 MOT at 85,780 miles passed without any defects, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. The preceding January 2026 failure was resolved before the subsequent pass, and all earlier annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also recorded no defects, confirming consistent upkeep. At nine years old, the 85,780‑mile odometer equates to roughly 9,531 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2017 model. The interval between the 2023 test at 57,439 miles and the 2024 test at 68,290 miles represents an increase of 10,851 miles in one year, a higher-than‑average accumulation, while the subsequent yearly increments of 8,871 and 8,616 miles remain within a reasonable range for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or scoring, verify the absence of structural rust on the chassis and sills, and check the exhaust system for excessive corrosion or emission failures, as these components are the most likely to exhibit gradual deterioration despite the clean MOT history.
